bottom bracket help

i'm looking for a new bottom bracket and i'm having some trouble finding what i'm looking for. right now the chainline works with 103mm spindle. i was going to just go cheap with the shimano un-73 but i can't find anything smaller than 107mm. so basically i'm looking for a 68mmx103mm bottom bracket for fairly cheap. i guess i could buy the un-73 and just replace the spindle? any suggestions?

I don't think you can remove the spindle from the un-73.

what kinda taper are you looking for? JIS, ISO?

I don't think shimano BB's come in 103mm.

you could get an FSA ultimax

TA makes one too. kinda spendy though

phil's is even more spendy

if your looking for campy, you can get a chorus BB in a 68x102 for about $60
